โง่เองที่ไปประเทศคอมมิวนิส พวกมันไม่ช่วยอะไรแน่นอน แล้วไทยก็ต้องรับปัญหาทั้งหมดอีกตามเคย
When are these people going to be bought to justice, this is murder
Crap hole countries.
White women and travelling to shit hole countries, name a more iconic duo.
I really feel for her family and friends. Nothing will ever be ok after this tragedy.
I’ve heard many classmates from school are saying she was a massive bully….. might just be one of those cases of accidental justice
Partyyyy
Alot of these 3rd world countries have bars that offer small buckets or unlimited shots and pour like 100 shots along the bar. The trick is they fill the branded bottles back up the next day with boot leg alcohol. Young Westerns are blind to just how dangerous and sneaky people can be!
Alcohol remains the world's no1 consumed drug. Teach wokism instead of alcohol dangers and the world is already overpopulated!
Meanwhile Penny Wong brings terrorists to Australia, more burned cars, more vandalism!
What about the Palestinian children
The government needs to start standing up for Aussies. Cut any funding we give Laos for a while as punishment run an awareness program with the money for Aussies
If you travel to Thailand, just stay in Thailand. No need to across the border for adventures in Myanmar or Laos.
white girl game ends by drinking bad alcohol. entire media conglomerate drops what their doing to give live updates like this has never happened before.
As thais when we go to Loas we do not drink any alcohol except beer loas.
Rip Girl 😢
Tragic …. My condolences to her family and friends. Drink spiking or poisoning in this case is despicable.
RIP……Bianca
😎🇦🇺🙁
Well ban alochol, oh wait. They cant, coz goverment is behind it making money of this alcohol

Laos is not safe. The locals threatening Hmong Americans all the time. Daily on YouTube.

Laos is not udon thani. Totally different country. Fyi .
Condolences to the family. So sad 🙏

🙄
RIP SO SAD
This is a sick generation I mean yyyy wouldn't you travel our land or western country's why the hell would anyone go too 3 Rd world hell holes ????
What kind of accent is that from red shirt girl? Very funny. I though she was talking completly difrent languge and i hardly understood a word what she was saying.
Brutal and totally not warranted, life can be just this fragile
Methanol is expensive. I thought Ethanol would have been used. People need to stop going there if it's that bad. Poor girl and the family would be going through hell right now. 😢
Thailand and Laos and countries around that area (except maybe Vietnam) are known for killing tourists and then claiming they suicided 🤡
RIP, don't go to these countries for holidays.
Holly is apparently brain dead..y daughter has until friends..it’s so tragic..I can’t believe that this can happen in 2024…they must investigate this corrupt police and hospitality industry in Laos
If you come to travel Thailand please don't go to the neighbours countries at borders it's dangerous. Just stay in Thailand for your safety life please 😢
why not say this an act of bad actors in thai land there should be a full tranparent investigation .
Laos is a communist country. When a foreign country dies there, there is no responsibility. Everyone in Laos survives.
This is why you don't holiday in these countries. Its happened for years
That’s why moonshine was banned in Aus
There's no justification for victim blaming in the comments. They were innocent young woman and completely unaware of the danger they were in by having a few drinks.
When I was young, everyone was drinking and smoking and now I'm an adult, this hasn't changed.
Don't go to shithole countries and expect safe booze and sex
